Insights & perspectives

Shaping the future of work and competence as a system.

Through articles, analyses, and metacognitive reflections, Erigo explores competence as a structural driver for organizations and society. The texts span from practical insights to systemic perspectives, creating a space where knowledge becomes both measurable and meaningful.

Understanding the linguistic mind

Understanding the linguistic mind

A prelude to machine syntax

Language builds the framework of thought. Every structure we use to speak also becomes a structure we use to think. Across languages, these structures differ in grammar, metaphor and category, creating distinct ways of perceiving and relating to the world.

Cognitive Integrity

The missing layer of developer ethics

A developer builds an AI assistant for financial compliance. At first, the system works smoothly. It cites regulations, answers questions, and feels reliable.

The hidden weight of alignment

How reinforcement shapes truth in LLMs

You ask a model about a sensitive issue. Instead of answering, it politely refuses. That refusal is not random. It is alignment in action, the hidden layer that decides what a large language model (LLM) is allowed to say.

Who owns the truth in Large Language Models?

Who owns the truth in Large Language Models?

Large language models are rapidly becoming the interfaces through which knowledge is accessed, shaped, and distributed. If only a handful of companies own these models, they also hold the power to define what appears as truth in our digital discourse.

Bias in AI

Bias in AI

Weightings that shape our worldview

We are galloping in step with technology. Fascination carries us forward. But there are questions we rarely pause to consider. Bias in AI is often discussed as a technical problem — something that can be adjusted, coded away, fine-tuned. But bias is not just about data. It is about which interpretations are given priority. Which worldview is reinforced. Which values are amplified, and which are cut away.

Synthetic safety and AI

Synthetic safety and AI

When confirmation replaces inquiry

Generative AI gives us answers quickly, politely, and often with a high degree of familiarity. But what happens when our brain interprets this as confirmation, and when confirmation begins to replace inquiry? As more people turn to AI instead of human dialogue, the conditions for how we train empathy, develop judgment, and build knowledge are changing. The sense of safety that emerges is not necessarily wrong, but it is synthetic.

When AI writes the world

When AI writes the world

The risks of next‑generation models trained on their own mirror image

The technical development within generative AI has reached a point where large language models not only consume information, but produce the majority of new text on the internet. These systems also rely on training data to develop their language capabilities. This creates a structural tension:

Systems for engagement require structures for interpretation

Systems for engagement require structures for interpretation

What happens to thinking in an optimized environment

The information flow has changed its form, and with it, our cognition is also changing. What we previously regarded as neutral tools for access and communication have become active architects of our mental landscape. When systems reward speed and reactivity, an internal structure is required that enables interpretation with depth. This is where cognitive integrity finds its function.
